ecf51 project.

Forth86 is working on Windows 7 as of Tuesday October 26, 2010.

Files are of two types:

1 .txt or .doc files which can be read with a text editor such a WinWord, notepad, wordpad, ...
2 forth screen files which usually have the extension .scr but may have other extensions too.

We'll get you running Forth86 in a DOS window on your computer so that you can read the .scr and other forth creen files.

51BOOK is a folder with zipped files. Mr Rodriguez created 51BOOK.

51book1 is a folder with the 51BOOK files unzipped.

8051 forth documentation: Here's the directory on the website 8051forthdocumentation You may wish save each of the below files in subdirectory 8051forthdocumentation of folder 51book1 on your computer. after51.txt asm51.txt before51.txt critics.txt directory.txt edit51.txt f51.txt readme2.txt readme.txt 8051forthfiles Microsoft incorrectly, in this case, identifies .scr files as 'screen saver.' In forth parlance .scr stands for 'screen.'   Point, right click, Open, Save, Close in f86/8051forthfiles/ 2VF51.SCR DEFAULT.SYM DS4.COM DS4.SCR IMAGE.COM IMAGE.SYM MA8051.SCR MC8051.COM MCNOASM.COM SYSTEM.SCR forth86code Make directory f86, then make subdirectory forth86 code Successively right click on each the below three links and save in f86/forth86code P.COM SYSTEM.SCR FORTH86.SCR Here's saving P.COM Navigate using Windows explorer to Put the cursor over P.COM and double right click. You should see Point and double click run. And you should be running FORTH86 in a DOS window. Caps Lock ON! Forth is case sensitive. In the above example BYE was typed to show you how to get out of FORTH86. Type BYE, then key Enter and the DOS window should disappear. You might try the word VLIST to list the dictionary. Or try 2 2 + . Then try PFILE FORTH86 0 E for the Laxen forth full screen editor. Hit esc to exit the editor. We started this project on IBM 8088 computers in the early 1980s so we were in the DOS world at that time. Amazing that it all still works. Windows 7 gave us trouble. But it looks like we are getting out of it after download DOSbox. Click on Windows option. Here are the steps to run Forth86 under Windows 7. Double click on DOSbox icon after entering 'mount c c:\51book1'. Type 'dir' to see below. Type 'p' to invoke Forth86 VLIST works lots slower than under xp running on AMD phenom quad 4. Upgrade from Premium 64-bit to Professional 64-bit will allow Forth86 to directly run from Windows. Upgrade solution is expensive. Bad information to the right. Joey at Office Depot explains on Friday July 9, 2010 how we can upgrade from Premium 64-bit to professional for about $68. Remaining files below.
